director. thank you. chair. and members of the board. bob beck i'll go ahead and invite noa gonsalves from one treasure island to give an update on their on island programs and activities. good afternoon. good afternoon, directors and happy new year. nela gonsalves, executive director from one treasure island. i have a very short report this month at our food pantry on the 17th. we served over 200 households with hams and turkeys and gingerbread houses and toys, and we gave residents who are in the new housing development grocery carts so they can wheel their groceries from the food pantry all the way back up to star view court in isle house and masayo mae. so it was a very lovely celebration. our construction training program began this

monday. on january 6th, we had 11 candidates that are enrolled in the training, and our job broker and employment services are set tew year, and the tax site will launch on february 6th. that's where we provide low income san franciscans and island residents with free tax prep services if they make $75,000 or less. and so we're excited to run that program again in partnership with the united way bay area. as far as community events, we are currently in the process of hosting nert training, neighborhood emergency response trainings. first one was last saturday. we had 34 members and then it's a 24 hour training. so we will have two more saturdays on the 11th and 18th of this month, and we're looking forward to completing the 24 hour training with island residents. and the majority of those folks were island residents, so we were very happy. i think the tsunami opened some. the tsunami warning opened some folks eyes,

and so folks were participating. and then last but not least, our treasure island yerba buena island community meeting will be held on january 15th from 6 to 8 p.m. on zoom. thank you. and that concludes my report. thank you. noah, i wanted to also discuss some transitions in titus staff. first, i'm very happy to announce that we've hired a new senior community development specialist. kim mccarley is joining us from the office of economic and workforce development. she has a master's degree in architecture and has worked in architecture and urban design. following community based design fellowship in 2020, she moved and started doing more community based work, and she'll

be joining us to work on community communications, community development efforts, equity initiatives, our transitional housing program, and more. so very happy to have her joining us. she's here toda, as i believe all. well, go ahead. welcome to you. and there's much work to be done on treasure island. and what a great place to be practicing what you've learned in architecture and urban development. so welcome to you. welcome. and as i think all of the directors are aware, this will be anne marie rogers last board meeting. she'll be retiring at the end of this month. she's joined us about a year and a half ago and has brought a lot of energy to the department and to our efforts, and she's going to be greatly, greatly missed. also. joey

bencini, our vertical development leave. he's not going anywhere, but he is taking a paternity leave beginning on the 21st, as he and his wife are expecting their second son. so he'll be here before we go on. we may. we also say to anne marie that we've really enjoyed your time being here. we expected a longer tenure. there were lots of initiatives that you started, but you did do them with energies, and we had great hopes, you know, for you. but i understand that you are going on to the next phase of your life and some personal goals that you have. so we wish you well as you go forward. thank you very much. it's been a tremendous honor to be a part of the titus staff and to serve for the title board, the work program here and the

ambitions of the island are immense, and i've seen so much progress under your leadership, i have no doubt you will continue in the great work that you did long before i got here, happy to be a tiny part of it. it's been an honor. thank you. mary. yes, anne marie, i've known you since, what, 1999? and so i can attest to your progression of the things you've done for the city and county of san francisco. and as commissioner shane says, you know, we would have kept you as long as we could, but we also understand you have new endeavors and you're very adventurous. so we know that you're going to be doing all this stuff. so thank you for your service to titus and the city and county of san francisco. thank you. yes, mike,

i'd just like to add that, you know, you've been such a wonderful plus, and we have run into each other in numerous situations. so. and it's sad to see you go because i just know how talented you are. so good luck. thank you. all right. thank you. thank you. directors. in terms of on island activities over the last month, we did have fairly large crowds. turnout on new year's eve for the city's fireworks display, extra police officers and mta parking control officers were deployed island wide to ensure public safety and traffic control. additional portable restrooms and hand washing stations were put out at panorama park, signal park, as well as waterfront plaza and the great lawn area. we did have an

extended outage this past month that affected the 1300 series housing on on gate view in in the in the residential area, we had a shortage in in a buried electrical cable that took about 48 hours to. identify the source of the shortage and restore power. during that time, john stewart did open some vacant units in the 1400 series housing for residents to have access to charge phones and similar things. while buried cables are not susceptible to bird strikes and other problems that can impact overhead lines, when a problem does occur, it can take a good deal of exploration for the crews to locate and repair the problem. we've also been ree

onset of the rainy season at hangars two and three, as well as building 260, dpw has been doing some pothole repair, focusing on the residential and commercial roadways, and also public works crews have been dealing with continued dealing with graffiti abatement throughout treasure island and yerba buena island. on the housing front, the dollar lottery was held for the hawkins housing development. there are nine below market rate units in the building, and they have 14 applications from current, vested or legacy residents. also, the hawkins leasing team was going to begin reaching out on monday of this week to the to the lottery winners, so we should see some progress in that lease up in the weeks ahead. we

will be issuing a new batch of 120 day notices for remaining units at starview court around the end of this month. we have a current group of move notices that are scheduled to expire on january 21st, and we also want to see which households may be successful in securing inclusionary units at the hawkins, so that we make sure our next batch of notices is appropriately sized and addressed. on the parks planning front, we continued working with rec and parks department on planning for them to begin maintaining the new parks on yerba buena and treasure island, and beginning in july of 2026. last friday, we had a walk through with director sen eric anderson, brandon young and joe

roth. lautner from rec and park. we'll have a fulsome update on the projected park staffing levels and budget at our february meeting. and that concludes my comments for today. okay. thank you. any comments or questions by the board? any comments from the public hearing? none. next item please. item number four communications from and received by tida. this was in your boy package. any comments or questions by the board? yeah, i just want to. okay. miss richardson thank you. commissioners, i think i want to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing mayor breed for supporting tida. and, you know, thank her a lot. you know, our agency is is is is is is is is s

to present item seven a quick update on the epa community change grant for a collection of projects called treasure island connect. >> this is an information item the epa community change program grant program is designed to help equity priority communities tackle environmental and climate justice challenges through projects that reduce pollution, increase community climate resilience and build community capacity. >> it is funded through the environmental and climate justice program part of the inflation reduction act signed by president biden in 2020 to. we're excited that the treasure island mobility management agency are tema with one treasure island as a lead partner was awarded $20 million to fund six projects collectively called the treasure island connect program. >> the grant was obligated in late december and does not have a local match requirement. the grant period of performance is three years starting this january so projects will be completed by december 2027. our grant is one of 105 awards

announced so far and it's noteworthy that the epa received approximately 2700 applications for this program requesting more than $40 billion in funding. the tick next program delivers priority recommendations from the treasure island supplemental transportation study which the san francisco county transportation authority completed with one treasure island in 2023. >> i will now turn it over to nella gonzalez to discuss the estes. thank you alex. >> so treasure island connects delivers recommendations from actions from the treasure island supplemental transportation study. >> treasure one treasure island was the lead on that study and i did make a report a few years ago now. and the idea of the study was to identify near-term improvements in supplemental transportation options options for the island. some of the recommendation has

included our community ambassador program and we're very excited that through the grant we're going to be able to hire five ambassadors to get that program off the ground improved muni service micro transit service on islands shuttle bike share program to name a few. >> and then the scope includes projects that are aligned with the epa's missions and goals and we are very excited to work with the s.f. cta to roll out this project. >> thank you. >> so now i mentioned that your next program includes six projects which are a pilot of on demand all electric micro transit providing service to destinations in san francisco beyond the salesforce transit center. this includes places such as ucsf grocery stores and community services that are not readily available on treasure island. the service will be modeled on the s.f. mta's bayview shuttle pilot project which launched launched this past november.

we'll also another project is a free on demand shuttle serving treasure island and yerba buena island enhanced muni service on the 25 line and procurement of a battery electric bus for this line. construction of electric charging charging infrastructure at the treasure island ferry terminal. this facilitates the transition from existing diesel ferry service to fully electric service and compliance with car regulations. expansion of the bay wheels bike share system to treasure island and the transportation research center which combines three priority recommendations from the state's community ambassadors, travel training and marketing and communications regarding affordable transit options. the taxi will be launched and operated by one tie with title support. >> looking ahead we will start setting up the projects including drafting and signing support agreements with one thai sfm, ta and wieder. this winter we will work with one thai to conduct an initial round of public outreach to inform the service parameters for micro transit in the island shuttle and finalize location

of bikeshare stations. then we will procure the operators and service providers and target service launch in 12 to 18 months. we are aiming for 12 to 18 months of operations with a six month evaluation period before the grant concludes in december 2027. >> thank you. that concludes my presentation and i'm happy to take any questions. comments in connection with one treasure island. >> thank you. this is an incredible grant >> maybe i can begin with some that we have received. it may be the last federal grant we will get in a while from the transportation department. so i'm glad that we were one of the recipients of this money and it is doing things which are innovative. certainly the mica pilot transit pilot program the free on demand ivan shuttle which is i think a great game changer but actually the most important thing i think is that we have the electric charging

infrastructure for the ferry which will connect this island to the mainland by water. this is something that we've been looking forward to for some time. and without this infrastructure we're not able to make the changes to the ferries. they would be diesel operated rather than electric upgraded. >> is the funding to build it or is it only just to study and design? >> no, this is funding for the infrastructure itself so it's funding to build it so we will have it. and so it really is an important next step for we leader to get the electric ferries on board without without this infrastructure we would not have been able to do it. so and then all the other things are so important to as part of the transportation ecosystem. you know the bike share and also the the the outreach to the community. so good work to s.f. cta good work when treasure island and

we're so proud of the fact that you were able to get this grant for us. >> so i will open it. ms. richardson yes, thank you and kudos to tilly chang and actually sherry and to you all. >> so you guys are great as you know partner. a couple of questions for this important opportunity that we had. number one, maybe share what happens to the autonomous vehicle. member we had that pilot and we had some money in there. what happens to that and the leftover of the money and that particular project? >> good. good afternoon rachel hyatt i'm the deputy director for planning at the s.f. cta here on behalf of swannie choe. so we are working. so what linda referenced is a different federal grant that tim received actually during the obama era to support a number of different projects on treasure island from the original 2011 transportation

implementation plan. and actually one of them was piloting an autonomous version of the on island shuttle. this was just a pilot demonstration effort which has concluded. >> and so that on island shuttle service will now be replaced by the shuttle service that is to be funded by this grant. we there is funding remaining in that federal grant. what we need to do is what it was actually for was to support the toll system that was what that that remaining funding was given for. we are in conversations with the dot about the possibility of extending that grant but we do not have final assurance at this time for how they may be willing to extend it. so that's something we can report back on. >> thank you for that update and we would like to see the you know, subsequent updates on

those. the question also i have we have two for me. two major needs right now. a lot of people are hearing about, you know, churchill island. they're coming by ferry there. and this year i know we're going to have a lot of traffic. >> when you get to the ferry, people want to go travel the island. i think the pilot we should have a system where people get off the ferry. they can go to mercy air, they can go places. we really need to test out we have seniors and elders and folks just wonder where do they go? so i would like for us to build in from that transportation and the other needs also people are hearing about your boon island. >> we have this parks that we have created now state one pek kong people are now going to climb the hill to get there. and so we need to have a sort of transportation from the ferry going up there.

and i know we talk about muni but we also need to because people are coming. they are carried they're going to be a lot of events. >> so what do you recommend? yeah. and just following on from your previous question about the autonomous shuttle because this was an autonomous vehicle which is you know, this sort of vehicle very much in the early stages of development there were a lot of limitations on where it could travel and the kind of roadways it could reverse upon. so for example, there were limitations. why we could not directly serve the ferry terminal, why we couldn't go the vehicle could not go up that hill, this type of micro transit it is able to do the full suite of connections that community will want to see. >> so please help us to build that in. >> thank you so much, rachel. miss howard, please. >> yeah, hi. can i just say one thing to address? what? linda said or one treasure island will be operating the transportation resource center and we're in conversations with tyga about the location. but our goal is to have it

close to the bus stop and the ferry terminal so people are getting off there, seeing it right there and then they can get information about traveling to both islands. >> thank you. and it's terrific that you have funded the ambassador program because then ambassadors can greet people, show them the way, you know, help them with they will be staffing the transportation resource center. wonderful. thank you. >> thank you. you know, this is great and i'm just curious what the plans are then after three years, you know, are we are testing these six these six projects and then for example the micro transit would that continue or we planning on applying for more grants or how would that be? >> we would need to find additional funding. yeah. so this is not a funding source that we anticipate is likely to be one to continue so we would need to find additional funding and that's something that will work with tighter on as part of the overall next steps for

implementing the transportation program in general. >> yes. it's worth noting though that bike share programs the on island shuttle are all programs that have been planned for under the tie tip with the anticipation that they would be their operation would be supported by revenues from the congestion management program. one of the great things about this grant is that the roadway network on yerba buena island is not currently in a configuration to support the permanent tolling program. and so it allows us to start these services early but by 2027 the roadway should be in their final configuration and there would not be a physical restriction from starting the congestion management but we would need to with the team adopt the toll policies for its implementation. >> okay. thank you ms. m

i just want to say hello. go ahead, tim. >> yeah, i want to thank you for, you know, trying to implement this stuff as soon as possible because i was actually speaking to somebody last night and i made the recommendation if they were going to go to the island, take a ferry and go from there. but the big thing is to get like up to the park on the top of the hill. nobody's going to want to walk up that but t sooner we get it going i think it's the better for the island. thank you. >> that's very good. ms.. >> yes, and i agree with ms.. ruff and that is you and i have talked about it a lot before. >> i think it's really important that we have this great beautiful park system that many people who live on treasure island can't get to because there's a lot of people with disabilities and whatever the you know, walking ability. so it's i know that there's a

nice way to get up there very beautiful path but some people can't even do that so i really appreciate that and that you're looking into it. i think that that's pretty wonderful. two questions. first one would be is there any chance that the new government could say no to this grant the grant is obligated. >> so the agreement is executed. so it's we yeah, we have an executed grant agreement with the duty. >> okay. and it's one of those you know if you don't use it you lose it. >> but that's that is always that's always possible. yeah. okay. but were you trying to vocalize this as soon as possible? >> yeah. okay. thank you so much. thank you. >> okay. hearing no other comments from the board, are there comments from the public? none. thank you very much for for

this good news. >> okay. next item please. item number eight consideration of proposed san francisco park code amendment applying the park code to the treasure yerba buena islands park system. >> peter somerville will present on this item. >> thanks, kate. good afternoon directors peter somerville with of staff. it's a great segway talking about being able to get more people up to our beautiful parks to the item in front of us today talking about necessary governance and rule setting for our parks. so i will walk the board through a few slides on that before we get into the discussion about the proposed recommendation to extend the park code to the island. i want to note that the board has been received an updated version of the draft ordinance that's referenced in exhibit e or excuse me. so the old version of the ordinance was landscape and updated. one that we're going to be reviewing to is portrait that

kate just distributed today. >> so as we all understand it is important for rules setting and establishing government for titles parks which we will be responsible for ownership of long term. any governance on tybee must be under the structure of the san francisco municipal code. obviously any exercise that we're going to undertake with regard to rule setting must be consistent, clear and transparent for the general public. that said, it is appropriate and reasonable to set time, place and manner restrictions on conducting activities in the parks in order to ensure positive outcomes including a rewarding park experience for the majority of parks users. protection of parks facilities ,habitat equipment and infrastructure in equitable park use and access. so luckily for us in the city there is an existing set of rules and structures that manage just those considerations. the san francisco park code the long established, appropriate and reasonable time, place and

manner restrictions on conduct and activities that govern the city's park system currently specifically applicable on public parks, open spaces and recreational facilities in its current alignment. another benefit of the park code is that it allows an existing system of public hearings before applying the code to address neighborhood concerns and operational needs. existing precedents of the playing the code to public parks not under charter define jurisdiction of the recreation and park commission does exist. for example yerba buena gardens the trans bay roof park are to park spaces in the city governed by the park code or element of the park code that are not defined as parks under the charter. >> as i mentioned earlier this item does seek the board's recommendation for rec and park to continue with an ordinance of the board of supervisors amending the park code to include treasure island and yerba buena islands parks and open spaces staff is making

this recommendation for a variety of reasons. the park code establishes transparent and consistent rules and regulations for all our open parks and open spaces. it aligns our parks and open spaces with citywide park rules to avoid public confusion about what type of behaviors are acceptable on island parks versus in the city parks. it aligns our parks and open spaces with existing citywide best practices codified in the code and allows for the larger code structure to manage solutions to emerging parks and open space issues such as uses with vendors uses with private flying devices like drones and whatever else might come up down the line in the next many years that we're not even contemplating yet. what it does not do is define tiwai by spaces as a park under the jurisdiction and control of the recreation park commission within the meaning of san francisco charter section 4.113. and it does not remove ownership or jurisdiction over the tiw b from the authority. it simply extends the park code rules and regulations to the

authority's spaces on tiwai by mechanically there's two actual sections of the park code that are proposed to be amended specific to the tiwai by extension. the first is amending section 2.01 to extend the definition of park under governed under articles four, three, four, five and six of the code and i'll get to what those are two parks and open spaces on treasure island and uruguayan island designated by the title board for public recreational use. you'll see i've sort of cut up a little bit the language but if you look at this code here you can see the general how parks are defined under section 2.0.1 and this section before in italics is the proposed language that would be added to the park code to encompass tiwai by spaces under articles three, four, five and six which is again reflected in the updated draft ordinance provided to the board earlier today. >> park code articles three

four, five and six govern regulations basically rules and behaviors that are around allowed or required in modified conditions in the park disorderly conduct behaviors uses that are prohibited are rules regarding animals feeding animals the type of animals that can be or can't be in the park regulations on not disturbing wildlife and traffic regulations regarding vehicle travel through parks parking inside parks and behaviors of motorists and motor vehicles at this time article seven of the park code will not apply to the type by parks article seven discusses rec and park and the parks codes process for permitting special events, film and photo activities in the parks at this time article seven will not apply tighter and tighter special events staff will retain all event film photo permitting roles and responsibilities for the immediate future. >> the second amendment is amending section 3.2.1

specifically to allow traversal of parks outside of designated park areas on treasure island and yerba buena island so parks can be closed after midnight and before 5 a.m.. but if someone say getting off the ferry one city side parks are open and they want to walk through city side park after hours to get to their home on the other side of ninth street that is allowable and you can see here again a little bit chopped up at section 3.2 1c4 will extend that allowance to traverse parks going from one end to the other into the parks code section 3.21 with that staff does recommend approval of the code amendment and request that the title board approve the resolution in front of it today recommending to the board of supervisors approval of the draft ordinance amending the park code to apply the code to properties owned and managed by the recreation and parks

department and to include under that dti why vi parks rec and park is currently working with the city attorney to finalize the ordinance in substantially the form that you've seen in front of you here today. they expect rec and park will introduce the ordinance to the board they're currently seeking legislative sponsor sometime in early 2025 if the board does pass this resolution today, the resolution will be forwarded to the board of supervisors and included in rec and parks board of supervisors file acknowledging that the title board is aware of this action and has recommended it as well. with that that finishes my formal presentation and i'm happy to take any questions. >> okay. thank you. thank you for that report. i have some questions of the deliberations, the staff deliberations on the park code. i know that the port of san francisco as an example was an agency that divides its own set

of park codes and i'm just wondering, you know what were the differences between the points set of rules and regulations versus the city's were there substantial differences that would also apply to treasure? >> because the point is is basically governing the waterfront and we likewise are governing the waterfront of this island as i'm familiar with it. the port code and the park code are fairly similar at the same time i believe that you know like you mentioned the port established the port code for its parks and open spaces last year when going through initial consideration staff did look at the potential of establishing a unique by parks code for our spaces that said it was going to be remarkably similar to the san francisco park code as well and a few specific reasons why it seems that just adopting the

san francisco park code for our spaces as opposed to a unique by park code is part of the recommendation one of which is upon review. the city attorney seemed to think that the difference would be down to just a drafting decision that mechanically and and even sort of jurisdiction wise there was no immediate difference or benefit one way or the other to the authority. i think secondarily we found that maintenance of the code does take a lot of work legislative work staff work staying up on like i mentioned earlier all the different potential uses, new uses, unexpected uses that might come up in parks open spaces over the years without the port does dedicate a lot of staff and legislative time to that as does reckon park type of staff alignment is a little bit less robust in that regard and in terms of allowing the park code and rec and park sort of work administering the code handle a lot of those issues that might come up in the future to be appropriately applied on

treasure island again from a from a staffing perspective applying the san francisco parks code seems to make more sense from the recommendation. it also creates one less code in the city for people to have to be cognizant of if they're going to a treasure island park why be a park versus park in the city? understand the port does have its own uses but the port like you mentioned is is is very waterfront and has a lot of unique spaces specific to themselves as well. so for those reasons again it it could go either way but at this point staff is recommending extension of the existing san francisco park code. i understand staffs recommendation to have the parks code of the mainland then send a recompile be applied certainly in terms of ease and efficiency but i just want to make sure that we meaning the treasure island development authority and maintains that

decision making on the specific policies which govern our parks and open space and and there's several things that i would like to note. one is you know, that we retain the oversight of the commercial events is of revenue producing events. i don't know if this adaptation of the parks code applies then to what type of functions we might have whether you know any areas can be fenced off for private or nonprofit use and i think that it's the commercial revenues, the potential of commercial revenues for a nonprofit or for a conservancy that is important to retain for future so that those moneys can be used those commercial revenues from events from festivals, from music you know,

all that, stan, that those revenues can be spent and and preserved for treasure island uses so does this park code change the way like what gives us more restrictions on those uses the commercial uses in the commercial revenues which could be derived from our parks? >> no in terms of of leasing and events and activities revenue generating activities in our park spaces at this point there with this ordinance revision there is no change to titers overall authority and existing all in on all our special events. nothing changes from how we are doing it yesterday, today, tomorrow and there's no share at this point anyways because there's no actual agreement with beacon park as to how they're going to manage or whether you know whether they're going to manage the parks on treasure island.

this this is not will not affect our operations correct. >> then the control of the hours that are employed and issue because the parks code for the public parks are open from 5 a.m. to midnight i believe there is some parks for instance salesforce park you know some other parks which you obtain the government guidance which have limits to that timing and i know that we had problems on panorama park when it first opened where we there was a decision for security reasons to limit that time to for an earlier closing. and so by adopting this part code what do we do about special circumstances where they may be reasons to limit public access at certain times

i think we would initially look to whatever is already allowable under the code related to specific signage being posted for more unique rules at more unique spaces. like you mentioned there is a general overall hours but there also is the allowance for with posted signage and notification more constricted uses and hours whatever the case may be hours usage you know presence of people in there for specific parks additionally if necessary not as part of this but as we go forward if we find there are very unique circumstances in individual parks using that way be gardens and trans bay park example there are ways to further amend the park code to dial in very specific uses for individual spaces. for example i think the transbay terminal if you look in the code has more restrictive rules applied and as far as animals go for example as far as athletic

activities. so i think we believe that either through already existing allowances posting signage with more particular rules or if we need to working with rican park to go back and codify much more specific restrictions for specific spaces. that's what we would follow in terms of achieving that well that's a particular area that i think should look to be looked into as you go through the amendments that your contemplating to raise it with the city attorney to make sure that tiger retains those rights to be able to modify the parks rules so that it is specific to our own parks and open spaces. >> we're very much attuned to that. yes. thank you, ms.. richardson, please. yeah, thank you, peter and i just want to echo piggyback on the previous stigma so i understand the general park

code which we're trying to again include artsreasure island yabba bueno parks we are just beginning to roll them out and our situation the landscape is actually unique. it's a lot of different from city parks you know that for instance i was looking at the hours of operation on page six they actually identify some parks specifically what their needs are. so my question is have you identi py our parks? >> well we have right now some unique things that we need to quantify. >> for example your panoramic park we do not want any skateboarding in there. we don't want anyone you know having picnics or something like that for that particular park that will be significant

and have we identify what we know right now to be bill in in this document for instance on page six they mention about in the case of the panhandle parcels me walk or ride bicycle and the bike and certainly conditions in the case of the union square the civic center plaza i mean those sparks they have unique things that they said hey is different from all the other. my question is we also have the same thing too. >> so and right now at the onset where have we identified by our parks that is unique that can say hey, you know if we are looking this or these unique or something it's not here because it's not there and i would like for example what i just stated that for the panorama parks of wherever there's no picnic in there you cannot have skateboarding and some other people maya that needs to be coded in there right now. >> so that's my number one

question. the other question will be when we get to 1 or 2 i meant what are the process so if we want to amend anything as mentioned before, do we have to take permission from parks rec we can go directly to our we have to go through it. how does that go? >> we would similar to this process we would need to work with park and rec on a code amendment process through the board of supervisors. i imagine we would bring a similar resolution back to this board speaking about those amendments that we're seeking to make and then we would work with rec and park who would lead the legislative process and the burden and i can park hypothetically i'm just thinking perhaps because again we mention about the jurisdiction under specific needs so we want to we are and then agency against the parks which said we wanted to do that but rec and park or whatever i do not see that. >> how do we resolve that again just so hypothetical you know, forward looking statements that

we need to look at how would that look like? what will you think that because if we say for the specific needs for this parks this is what we feel and this commission make a decision that we wanted to do that and we expect that the decision will be lead to amendment that's this petition but what if someone or whatever the jurisdiction doesn't how do we resolve that? we need to know that going in to my disapproval peter, help me out with that case. >> in their view, i think our experience to date is that it's been a strong working relationship with rec and park and they have taken our comments and ideas specific to our parks and our needs very thoughtfully and incorporated them into this process and that would again continue to be the case. >> i, i understand your question but i think there's not a conflict resolution process put in place. if we propose a we have a code ordinance and they reject you make laws on policy. yes, we have a great

relationship with the people they are now we can make a phone call is great five seven years from now. they are not they are the people unite here. that's the situation. that's why policy that's why forward looking what we did look like then and it's great to see that because someone you have relationship with today you know you can guarantee like just you know that it will be there would be depend opinion circumstances for this commission. >> it would be a dereliction of duty not asking those what would that be like because the provisions might be above when we want to make recommendations to in addition based on something you guys bring towards that we need to add that there needs to be a guarantee that when we get to that we might we are not usurping jurisdiction to make that. >> yeah i think if for some reason there was an impasse and rec and park refuse to

cooperate with with changes that we would recommend i will confirm with the city attorney's office but i believe that we could initiate an amendment either as a title department or introduction or as a mayoral introduction hopefully it wouldn't come to that ultimately if you know we were we found ourselves unable to work with rec and park within the context of the parks code. there's nothing that would prevent us in the future from taking the route of the port and creating our own code and taking that as as legislation of the board of supervisors was so thank you yet please consult with the attorney for that. that would be comforting. i would like i said i agree i can go along with the park has just all this other situation if you can help us to write that in that would be extremely helpful.

thank you. thank you peter. >> okay. i can mr. richardson, i just want to assure you we have discussed this with the city attorneys and yes, as as bob said is absolutely definitive today i can take an action and refer a draft ordinance to the board as a legislative sponsor and then the clerk of the board would write that we would need to work with an elected official to then pick up the sponsorship. but that's certainly a process that you are always empowered to do. >> thank you very much. mr. dunlop thank you. >> i do appreciate the work you've done and peter, you just have a baby here ten months it's feels like yes but yeah it's so awesome anyway i yeah i understand you know our you know i hope you understand our concerns about you know we have to work with park and rec but we want our own autonomy which is so important and you know

one of the things i noticed is there time that their parks are open? there's like 5 a.m. and four like are island treasure island and you're going to that could create some problems and it could create some security issues. so i think that's something we might need to look at and it would be you know, confidence building if we knew that we could make those changes relatively quickly. yeah. so that i think that's the concern that everybody has that you know, things do happen and you know i don't think there's much crime but there's crime, you know, anywhere in the city and if people are wandering around at 5 a.m. in the morning yeah empty park that's a problem. >> so yeah i, i think again as i understand individual park rules changes can be made

without needing to go back through the legislative process. so if we have certain times panoramic park particularly activities timing that we want to restrict more in from that 5 a.m. to midnight timeframe i mean we can double check on that and make sure we're reporting back at the next board meeting but needing to go through the rigamarole of going back to the legislative process to crack open the park's code shouldn't be necessary if we want to restrict more specific rules in line with the existing parks code. >> thank you. okay. mr. west, thank you for your hard work on this report. >> i'm just going to echo what my colleagues have said here. i'm concerned about the 5 a.m. to midnight at panorama park and i grew up here in the city. i know what happens at parks later later on as the evening goes on. i've seen it i've been there. i am concerned about the skateboarding issue up there. i think there's a completely valid points and i hope we can

address those. >> thank you. >> okay. so hearing no other comments from the board mr. beck, did you have some? >> yeah, i just wanted to clarify. i did i did pull up the parks code so section 3.21 are from 5 a.m. to midnight daily but subsection b provides that notwithstanding subsection a that the commission in that case this case would be the title board made by resolution at any time said different hours of operations for any part or part thereof based on operational requirements or neighbor neighborhood impacts. >> so thank you for that. that is a major concern. >> okay. um oh, i'll make a motion based on that. >> let me hear from the purpose of considering any members of the public who would like to address us on this issue hearing none. >> what is the pleasure of the board? yes.

i will make a motion to approve this item agenda and peter with mr. beck you will you know all the discussions therefore you know tighter. >> we will follow up with the city attorney on all of these issues. >> i'll set second. okay. so it's been moved and seconded . >> all those in favor say i, i all those opposed so the ayes have it. >> thank you very much. next item. >> item number nine year in review and the year ahead. the directors yeah. every january we like to take a look back and it's often remarkable, you know how much things have do change year over year. so we recapping a little bit of what happened in this past year and and what our goals are what we hope to achieve in the coming year.

all right. okay. >> hmm

. that's our tech guy. but but the whole the whole laptops program or i. >> i tried control. yeah, i took okay there's

there's no in 2026 this is 2006 as i seven motions be taken over the i see it okay i got it

too but that's just like yeah it really gets confusing when i'm looking at my phone when they say so i don't know any of them like when you're expanding and then you lose like you lose and it's freezes. oh oh here we go. slide show. yeah, yeah yeah it it's great we just use the 2027.

yeah. okay. yeah. 3.62 is confusing. yeah this is it's just kind of repetitive and then course you get down to the palm of your right. yeah, i got some water so yeah

. so it's working now. >> so okay, we finally got it

done three things so yeah we'll take a look at what we completed last year and what's coming up for this year in the infrastructure world last it was just april of this year that the board of supervisors accepted the infrastructure in the stage y b i and treasure island stage one areas that made the new roadways traffic signals, utilities, the assets of public works mta and the public utilities commission and significant milestone in that you know the these agencies now have assets on the island it's not still the the paradigm that everything that happens on

treasure island is somehow external to their core operations but they have an ownership stake in the island now and this year will be moving forward into the stage two area of of the balance of major phase one surrounding hangars two and three and preparing our next affordable sites also this year notably the new wastewater treatment plant is expected to complete construction and begin operational testing in in september and be fully operational by the end of the year which will allow us to shut down the navy's historical wastewater treatment plant island which has long been one of our our most vulnerable infrastructure assets. and so recent aerial of the of the treatment plant site under construction you can see the wetlands along the shoreline

are beginning to be constructed and in the foreground is is the new switchyard switchgear for the island on yerba buena island the hillcrest road and west side bridges are under construction. west side bridges is expected to finish in 2026 with hillcrest following the following year. these are going to be critical to completing the circulation route on on yerba buena island putting us in a position to implement congestion management operations as well as converting mccolloughú to one way traffic routing as as has been intended. the cta is is also continuing to work with the bay area tolling authority to seek to fund multi-use pathway projects to throughout that that southern treasure island road

hillcrest alignment around the island on the vertical side the first flats and townhomes on on y b i start view court and i'll house all received their tko this year and began sales or leasing operations. the hawkins was substantially completed and held their daily a lottery and in december and we initiated pre-development for the behavioral health building the senior building and ic4 point three the new family building that will be operated by john steward company and catholic charities on is we looking into next year will will continue to advance the design of the behavioral health building in the senior building but also hawkins is now beginning their lease up process and 490 avenue of the

palms our first condominiums on treasure island should be completed in may june timeframe and begin their sales as well. in terms of our transitional housing efforts for island residents, you can see the change in number of occupied units on the island from last year to two this year both the 66 catholic charities households that moved into star view court but a number of villages households moving moved into star view court and or the isle house so that in aggregate we have 120 fewer households today than we did a year ago on the amongst the parks we than we did a

year ago on the amongst the parks we accepted an opened panorama park signal point and treasure island landing this past year and significant progress has been made on the construction of city side park which we expect will be completed and opened around the major june of this year. >> also tai city will be beginning construction on on the chapel grove also called

the cultural park around the chapel on the waterfront as well as the clipper cove park around quarters ten along the causeway an aerial shot of of panorama park and other big moves that occurred in 2020 for of course the dda amendments were were critical in terms of maintaining progress on treasure island but also the negotiation of the exclusive negotiation agreement with department of labor and the bfc groundless and in 2025 you know we hope to advance the negotiations with department of labor hopefully come to agreement on a term sheet to begin mobilizing for the stage two infrastructure which should

begin in march. i already mentioned the completion of the wastewater treatment plant but also advancing our partnership with richmond park other other 2025 priorities will be continuation of our equity work in partnership with the planning department and one treasure island. the implementation of the epa grant transportation grant that was discussed today also working with timna to advance the congestion management top policy discussions and working with treasure island enterprises. they're scheduled to take the marina to bccdc commission next month so hopefully they'll be in a position to begin construction on the marine improvements this summer. and again just moving forward into stage two with in stage

one we have parcels capable of supporting up to 2000 new homes 976 are either completed or under construction with an additional 1300 units that can be developed in stage two. so more to come but making a significant progress in moving things forward and that concludes my update. >> okay. thank you so much, bob. i think sometimes in the midst of doing the day to day we forget to celebrate the progress that we have made and it is free markable the amount of progress that has happened in just the last few years. of course you know there's a lot of work that needs be to pave the way for the vertical construction that goes on but but i think these last three,

four years in particular have been really remarkable in what we've done on the island. so kudos to bob being the director of tide and also to the staff at treasure island to the authority but also to this board which i think have certainly the best interests of the island at heart. for me i think one of the main goals that i wanted to accomplish for the island was billy the housing and it was it was certainly our intent to build the affordable with the market rate and in other cities the market rate has come first but in this city on treasure island we have built the affordable together with the market rate and i think that's a considerable achievement to get almost 28% of the housing

fee for low and moderate income families and we represent the most housing that has been built in the district in san francisco in any district in san francisco. so we are really contributing to the housing numbers for the city as well. so we have much to be proud of the open space, the parks, the fact that we've been able to open the first new parks on treasure island this year, it's been remarkable and they are being enjoyed and we look forward to city side park when that comes along as well. but i'm going to open up to the board and then to the public system just to echo on commissioner sands comment. >> i think this year played a pivotal role in years and years of hard work in coming to fruition in a visible way. and so congratulations to everyone to seeing a lot of the things going horizontal in the

parks has been awesome. >> just a question and a comment. i know a lot of work has gone into the transitional housing and a lot of great impact has happened with having the one thai families move as well as a lot of the pta households and mixed income households or mixed households. >> a question about the post dda for the 143 in 2025 is the plan for those to be offered potential slots in the new developments coming up or potential payouts as the projects come online? >> right. so the transition housing rules and regulations for the market rate housing were adopted in 2011 and they established benefits to the households that were established at that time. the residents who were here at that time in 2019 with we worked with supervisor haney's office to amend the dda so that

the households that moved to the island between 2011 and the end of 2019 would have priority for new affordable units. so the most vulnerable or lowest income of our market rate residents do have a pathway for replacement housing on the island but there's not any specific housing commitments for other more recent market rate households that that don't qualify for affordable housing. >> yeah. so i guess the just the comment for that is just as much communication as the ones i have to move early as possible. so yeah there can be options. mr. tanner thank you very much. yes, it was an exciting year. >> i live there and sometimes when you live in a place you don't really realize the changes that are going on around you until you take a

little walk and and then you're blown away. yeah, it's really been quite last year i think quite a year and i just want to thank bob and the staff for putting this together. it's becoming a beautiful destination place i do believe and i you know i'm just excited to see what the next year will be like. >> i did have a question. you know there's been a little bit of a slow up and the building process and i think that's just you know, the economics of the time. >> if if you could talk to that . yeah, i think the the you know the the sales on the market rate homes on the bricks on your island were have have been slow and part of that was the building was completed in april

of 24 and then or april of 23 pardon me and then the interest rates around august of 23 went up quite a bit and that slowed down that impacted the sales considerably and but we had a number of projects already in construction on treasure island including alehouse hawkins and 490 avenue of the palms and ale house was just recently completed. what are the summer with with hawkins following now and portico for 90 avenue the palms b finished in may and i think those the lease up and sales on those is what's going to determine the timing of additional projects breaking ground and how's it looking is there i mean we're optimistic i mean our house i don't i don't

have current numbers on how many units they've leased up. i know all of their affordable units have been leased up but yeah, i think we're optimistic . we've we've really been looking through 2026 as the target for a much more robust housing housing market recovery. so we'll be continuing to monitor that as we go forward. >> thank you. yeah. ms. richardson yeah. thank you so much. and you know, today it's a victory lap of some sort and i'm going to in order and you know, commission as shown under your leadership you know this project you'll be paying a fine detail even working behind the scenes to make sure that we meet all the milestones. so kudos to you and bob beck. you know, we've said it publicly and privately every time that we have an opportunity for communicating with the public, we always

bring you in. let them know that the heavy lifting you're doing that and everything when people go to treasure island their minds are blown away. >> there really are people telling me and say linda, you guys are doing the air. >> what happened? and i'm saying the rest of the public don't know until they stumble into what we are doing is treasure island 2025 is going to be different. it's going to be different because we need to communicate so that they can know all this outstanding work we're doing here. we're building a small city within a city and every comment from everywhere visitors san franciscans have been my god you guys are doing something here so kudos to you and which said your staff before and noah and marie is live in it. kudos to you to peter and everyone and our partner neller all together here. i think we're in a place to showcase and we're going to have our own communication

where we can talk directly a great opportunity now with the new stop here so that nothing goes and that's commission here that at least our perspective the messages we want to communicate with the public is seen there because that's then how they take note of that. >> and so i'm going to go into the transitional housing and i know we made a lot of progress in this year so i'm just basically looking at the numbers they are dwindling now. >> so the pre dda if you look at that flier in the transitional housing this display here i'm kind of looking at the number of household that we're dealing with the all the pre dda i know is is down to 63 how so with the mixed households also include pre dda residents you're entitled to the pre dda and i'm doing the accounting i'm doing everything i'm doing accounting so in 2025 i mean this year we should be able to

know where everybody's at right and what they're going to be even moving forward. it's a small number, right? >> yeah, because we as i mentioned some of these households have applied at hopkins, others may pursue units that at 490 avenue palms we still have a few units to fill that staff you caught but yeah, we can come back and do an update of there will be transition units in the senior building and we have a population of of older residents that would qualify for those and then the ic4 point three will be the next significant swing in the the numbers of households in that absolutely so it's a really great we need to be that 2025 is the count down of this unit that work for the small

numbers and so this is going to be a significant year that we really can quantify everything and say yes because the numbers are very small now, very small. so we're making that progress and we should be able to finalize and you know what these are so thank you again, bob and your staff for a great ,excellent work. let's see, mr. beck, did you have any comments? well, i just i just again wanted to acknowledge all of the kind of staff that make, you know, all of this possible . you know, there's we have joe in way and marie working on the development side but also the finance team the real estate team. well, we'll do the budget next but all of our revenues derived from from the work of the real estate team so it is it is a collective effort so kudos are extended to staff as well as i've said. yeah.

so any comments from the public thank you very much for this report and we're looking forward to the work that has to be done for 2025. well the roll up sleeves and we're going to do it. okay. >> next item item number ten review of draft fiscal year 2025 to 2026 and fiscal year 20 2627 treasure island development authority budget i'm doing

so thank you directors happy today to be presenting our first pass at draft budget for next year. last last month we went over some of the performance of 20 2324 and and performance of the 25 budget to date and we've been working again diane alberto from the finance staff and myself been working to build upon the work that our finance manager jamie rubin did before she went out on maternity leave to bring you our draft budget here today will come back to you in february with an update from from tigta and rec park staff on detailed plans for rec park staffing that will inform the

fiscal year 27 budget as well as a refined version of what we're bringing you to to you today and then we'll follow that up with submitting our budget to the city administrator and the city administrator submitting their combined budget to the mayor's budget office on february 21st. the also proposed department budgets will be published on the comptroller's office website in march and the mayor will officially publish their two year budget proposal on june 1st did issue budget instructions last month projecting an overall deficit for the next two fiscal years of almost $880 million to address that general fund departments have been asked to

decrease their their general fund support by 15% again as a department that doesn't receive general fund support tight as expected to to manage within our available revenues through i mentioned last month and we discussed last year even the the dda amendments that most important you know did several things to help us move the program forward. but one thing that it did do was it removed a provision requiring tax to cover any shortfall in our authority revenues versus authority expenses. so we now need to make sure that we're managing those those costs they identified as authority costs within

available leasing revenues in in accordingly we restructured the budget into three categories based on the available funding sources the authority costs budget the city costs budget and the subsidy budget and again the authority costs budget needs to be supported by our leasing revenues so we need to make sure that we're monitoring both our revenue opportunities and these expenses to make sure that we're coming in on target where as the city costs and subsidy budgets function more as pass through expenses whatever expenses we end up occurring on the city cost side as long as we have a stablished expenditure authority the developer is obligated to reimburse those expenses. similarly the subsidy budgets

are available are can be funded by external funding sources and as long as there are sufficient authority or accrued balances in those accounts then we can we can fund those operations so some highlights for the draft budget you have before you the overall budget is is some seven point almost $7.4 million lower than last year's budget. that's almost entirely due to the pacing of the draw on housing subsidy funds from tax in order to support our new affordable housing developments . other things are tracking fairly fairly close to last year's established budget by category we have $14.7 milio but 6.4 in the city cost budget and

6.1 in the subsidy budget and again the the the budgets establish a ceiling for our expenditure authority generally we we fall well beneath those by 15 to 25% but that that is the authority that is established and then we'll trying to hit those revenue targets and contain our costs overall authority costs revenues are projected to decline slightly this year and be flat next year. that's largely an acknowledgment of the number of market rate households that have either moved off of the island or moved into new permanent housing. so we have some $600,000 lower projected revenues on the house house residential leasing revenues.

there are certain expenses notably tied of staff. our general services administration work order that are increased somewhat to reflect the new city labor agreements on the expense side a significant reduction in that in the 26 budget proposed 26 budget is not initiating the debt service payments on the submarine cable reimbursing the puc for the cost of construct installing one of the two submarine cables connecting the island with oakland a repaymentn that we have ultimately we anticipate issuingficas of participation that is a debt instrument that has been acknowledged authorized by the board of supervisors to repay that. we don't anticipate that that

payment will happen within this fiscal year which means that the repayment won't be initiated until the following fiscal year. so that that's one thing we were able to defer from the current proposed budget for next year. we have a couple of other one time expenditures that were retired. for instance we had a commitment in our budget to make star view court hall for rents on the transition units because our notice and relocation process under the and is more time consuming than their normal lisa process but the wooden one with the star view court expect to be fully leased up by the end of the year that expenditures are going to be retired from next year's budget. so overall our fiscal year 26 budget at this point is some

$300,000 lower than the current fiscal year and this is the revenue side. you can see our commercial leasing revenues are flat for the most part with some increase in our non tidelands trust property areas that decrease in john steward housing revenues that i mentioned and most other other categories being relatively flat on the this is the authority to components that make up the authority cost budget. you can see on the first two lines just over $4 million in tighter staff and salaries representing more than 25% of our overall budget. but the other elements that make up the title budget on the city cost side again the city costs are costs of of other

city agencies in support of the development program. so public works inspection services puc and mta design review services etc. these budgets are are fully billable to to cd within this category our expenses in 2324 were 1.7 below our established budget or 27% below our established budget for fiscal year 25 and we expect our final expenditures within the current fiscal year 25 to be similarly below budget. there will be a ramp up this spring in the stage two work as i discussed earlier but the state that increase of of activity going into next year and the increase in hourly

wages for city departments which make up the bulk of the city cost budget we don't believe that an increase in the city cost budget is warranted in fiscal year 26 at this time. so we're holding the city cost budget flat in our projections for fiscal year 26 and 27 other than some minor adjustments in anticipated costs associated with the administrate ation of the community facilities district which is actually reimbursable from the proceeds of the community facility district rather than billable to the developer. so the costs that are billable to the developer are projected to be flat and i just included in the deck for for members of the public or board members that may be interested the language within the dda

prescribing the reimbursement obligations of the developer for these costs within the there's the detail on the city cost side and as you can see i said the upper portion there the reimbursement typically reimbursement obligation we're holding steady at at roughly $6.25 million going into next year in the year that follows and then the the costs by agency of of of the city services in support of development with roughly half of that being a but attributable to public works which again public works does the actual field inspection of of the developer's work as well as coordinating the design review by all of the other city agencies of plans submittals and so forth as well as any

subdivision and mapping actions so public works it plays a very central role in in the developer delivery of the program on the within the subsidy budget again the revenues in the subsidy budget come from to city obligate under the dda or from special funds like cfd proceeds or art fees. the most dramatic change in the subsidy budget and the overall budget as i mentioned is the change in the project requirement the funding requirements for our various affordable housing projects we had over $9 million in funding last year as we move projects this year through predevelopment the required funding is projected to be only $1.5 million so that's $7.5

million drop there kind of matches the overall drop in in our total budget and then the we've been discussing for a few months now additional changes in parks related budget items as we bring on new parks and as we plan for the transition of parks responsibility maintenance, responsible cities from ruby contra to rec and park the the the funding for these new parks there is the $1.5 million subsidy or the thai city park subsidy obligation which is capped at $1.5 million per fiscal year but the balance being eligible for reimbursement or funding from revenues from the cfd and here is the the overall projected budget revenues and expenses for next year.

the first category a personnel and administration that's the job broker program subsidy from taxi city to one treasure island to help with the placement of of formerly homeless individuals into the construction trades as well as the placement of new hires in other island other commercial businesses on the island within the development budget. these these are all funded by the housing subsidy. there is the $1.5 million to help fund the affordable projects that are in the pipeline as well as funding that we share with the mayor's office of housing and community development and expenses that we have in implementing the t, h, r and r and providing assistance to island residents

and then the operations and maintenance category. these are all parks related cost items that are eligible for reimbursement from either the park subsidy or the community facilities district. >> and going into a little more detail on that last item the parks and open space maintenance within the the total subsidy budget is is $2.665 million with a little over half $1 million going to y by natural areas either rubicon services support from the department of environment or outside contract support and then within the new parks maintenance rubicon services for maintenance of new parks as well as we anticipate ramping

up some rec and park staffing particularly in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year for our preliminary placeholder there is $1 million and we'll be refining that and bringing in more detail next month but the that that funding is expected to continue the consultation that we are initiating this fiscal year with areas supervisor and horticulturalist consultations and then bringing on the future area supervise care for treasure island parks at the beginning of 2026 the middle of the fiscal year and then ramping up staffing for the anticipated 27 maintenance of the park in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 26 budget. our initial staffing projections are anticipate

adding 15 a full time equivalent positions including a number of people that will be in fact full time including gardeners, supervisors and natural resource specialists as well as some that will be, you know, full time equivalents of of on call services like building trades and arborist technicians. the funding for this will come as as was discussed previously from the park subsidy and the cfd ongoing maintenance fund and remainder taxes and as we ramp up in 2627 the rec and park services rubicon will revert to maintaining the primarily the navy residential areas and treasure island streetscape types which are part of the the the authority cost budget with limited natural areas support which will continue to be part of the

the subsidy budget. we also are maintaining you know our support for one treasure island the ymca operations boys and girls summer camp afterschool and on island summer youth programs the child care center and traffic management and special operations around 4th of july fleet week and new year's as needed. one thing that we will be is being discontinued in next year's budget is the operation of the the clinic on treasure island rec and park would not recommend but department of public health was having difficulty staffing that and an internal policy change the department of public health where that they were no longer going to allow a single staff

person to be there alone which would have doubled the cost of operations. so between the increase in operating costs and low utilization rates, the decision made was to discontinue the clinic and that concludes my presentation and welcome any discussion. >> thank you. thank you, mr. beck. i have some questions but i'm going to let the other board members start first and then i would like to conclude with some questions and general observations so mr. richardson know thank you mr. beck for that presentation. >> first question in 2024 we this commission actually entertained ideas that in general treasure island residents are part of san francisco and i remember then

we were going to embark on identifying the items issues that the city at large can resume for you know for their benefit disparate particular budget. have we done that exercise? >> where are we now before we approve this next budget because it is obvious at some point that the city wide yeah because we are none you know revenue generation we are not however we are also providing services for people that border san francisco san francisco residents and you know by them being residents so when are we going to be able to sit down and itemized and sedition this stuff here so we can let the city that's the number one people i segway with? >> my other question yeah that

has been a work in progress that has not yet materialized into a lot of change in the budget but one area that we have been focusing on is conversations with the public utilities commissions within our operating budget we have certain costs associated with the maintenance of those systems. we also have exposures you know ,related to those systems the the completion of the new wastewater treatment plant in the next year is going to significantly reduce some of our budget risk as it relates to the existing wastewater treatment plant. but another area that we've been engaged in is conversations with the puc about transferring the off island electrical assets from ownership of tighter to the ownership of the puc. we haven't yet concluded the

conditions for that transfer but when we are able to do so then that would be another area that would significantly reduce our exposures and services to the residents we identify anything there that might be in that category i'm sure. >> yeah i think i think within that area our focus has been actually on trying to look for external funding sources that we might be able to apply for and get grants for instance. uh many of the i discussed the the current general fund picture some of the areas where we provide support to island residents are at the child care center, the afterschool programs at the ymca. those those programs also have

received some general fund support for instance in the past and for instance from dcf and sorry the department of children, youth and families those funding sources were very hard hit last fiscal year and so we're in that areas where we're trying to more forestall shortfalls that would impact services rather than being able to secure more funding. so yeah and i think the environment yes and i think it'd be great because the city all the state needs to be transparent to the city to see why i've given almost 600 million to all of that is just for us to be the city to know what their obligations are and we can wait so that at least that can be phantom. so i'm looking at your budget here and you do subsidy budget. i remember that item six

embarrassment there's nothing declared there. however that's part of the subsidy budget and i could you and i know that the documents say 90 k but i looked into the city's budget i don't know where that source of that income and the actual amount it would be great even if it's a subsidy budget to actually know on this spreadsheet which is really great you know without substituting any other information to see what are the actual cost of that because is reflected in the subsidy budget for f y 2526 but again i couldn't endocarditis the external subsidy i don't know where they are so you can have to plug that in so we know the true cost and what the budget yeah yeah the the the the work of peter barstow from the

department of environment we categorize that as being part of the natural areas maintenance programs on treasure island. so it is it is supported by the combination of parks arts subsidy and cfd revenues so so yeah it's a great because now we need to break it down because the next question has to do with the operation and maintenance and again i'm looking here your staff has tried to combine the rubicon and the park rec and i know we haven't really gone into what the that's going to be because i guess that's the next step to really see this this number see what actually they translate to for example in the next 26 we are going to be having the rubicon and then about a million for rec and park and then we also parks and space up you know operation planning is

also in there and all of this other stuff again that's part of what we are trying to to to to really itemize so that we can really know the true nature of how this parks are going to be maintained. so i saw that. i know. so this is a draft but we have to get this done by february, right? >> yeah. okay. >> so yeah the parks maintenance one absolutely that needs to be we need to really kind of go into that. and lastly again i think we have a new administration is good for them to know the true nature of what is costing to provide services by tie-dye it's now must be transparent to them so that you know we can't just say we want any help and they don't know we cannot continue to assume something that we don't have the funding that could be more towards something that truly we need in

our development and i would think that we need to itemize those. thank you. >> mr. cannot thank you. thank you and i just i had a question that i guess now sort of off budget because of the health department pulling any health for the citizens of san francisco who happen to live on t i or y b i and i think that's something that really needs to be looked at. there has to be some way to bring health care to the island. >> we're not you know, we're not that far away and we truly are citizens of the city and county. and so in by cutting off the service i feel that it it's really it's almost an insult but it's a health issue, a serious health issue.

and somehow or another i do believe we need to convince the health department that they can find a way to open up at least on a day one day basis in bringing to people there there there really has to be a way i mean, again, it's sort of insulting to the residents here telling us that we are not citizens of the city even though we are. >> that's all. thank you. thank you. okay. okay. then what what i would like to thank first of all thank you, bob for having the spreadsheet large enough so that we can see it saves our eyes. it does help for us to understand, you know, some of these very difficult numbers and to be able to provide some insightful comments to the

staff. i think that there is a lot of scrutiny over how the maintenance budget is going to be for the ongoing, you know, care of the parks that we are creating if there's something in this budget that is really new and important for this year and the next year for the next few years, it's establishing that ongoing care for those parks and what the staffing, what the costs are going to be. i know that you're having conversations with rec and park about this. we had it early on had thought that there would be three different models that we would look at. one would be whether tido would have the staffing or whether it would be a nonprofit conservancy that would be estab lished to take on these responsibilities or the park and back in the city doing so i

think that the staff after looking at those alternatives decided that the easiest most efficient way was to bring in rec and park and it's i would have liked further investigate ation but i understand that this is a determination that you have made with the staff that that's how we're going to go forward. >> at the same time we don't yet have any of the details of what that type of arrangement is going to be. there's been some talk that there has been nothing that has been brought to this board. i've been privy as as chair to hear some of those conversations. but still this board as a whole has not received any further details on what that relationship is going to be like. >> and i know that that is being worked out in this next year.

>> but i i'd like to emphasize that that comes back to this board and especially the management agreement that there's enough time for this board to review it to consider it to make changes. and i think, you know, having this board and the accumulated expertise be able to provide that insight and input would be helpful to the process. what we see on the parks is that the expenses for it you have you have budgeted that the expenses will will go up from 2.1 to 8 million about 2.1 million this year to about 2.665 million in 2026 and then to three almost 4,000,000 in

2027 and for tiic the subsidy for the parks and maintenance is 1.5 million that the rest of the revenues to fund those expenses and it's almost a two fold increase as it should be i think because we are taking on lity for so much more as these new parks come on board. but that is going to come as you say from the from the cfd ongoing maintenance fund. and the question that i have is whether there's sufficient money in that cfd maintenance fund to fund these expected expenses and how long does that cfd funding extend to because we are now tests with the responsibility of these parks and services not just for the next 2 or 3 years. >> it is now it's part of our

duties and so a little explanation about the cfd and how it supports the parks maintenance fund i think would be really helpful in our next discussion before we vote on this and any information that you can give to the board i think helps us understand what are what are the resources available to us going forward. i imagine that the 3.6, four 7 million that you have for the maintenance of new parks and open spaces in 2027 the proposed budget that is based on not any specific budget that has been presented to date but it is a guesstimate i like it. >> i like to ask you that but before so so this area of the

parks and the maintenance is a key issue which has really been you know, a concern of this board and we really must know how that is going to be budgeted and paid for as we go forward. >> the other thing that i would like to say is that there is no money in this budget at all for the art and in fact what we have done with the art the funding for that has come from a 1% fee of the vertical development. it's going to be some time before the next phase of vertical development is built and so actually this as you can see in this budget is $0 that is being allocated towards the arts and i would say that the art program is such a vital part of any parks of any city because it activates those public spaces and as we have

seen it has elevated, you know, the spaces the parks that we have have have opened certainly point of infinity the next sculpture which is going to be this wind activated sculpture by ned kahn those are the only two public art projects that we have on treasure island that is funded through this program and i would like to see if there's any way at all for us to look at the budget and give some elevation and some i would say some real celebration of art in our parks and our public spaces because the art can in fact contribute to economy and

there's been many studies have shown that oh i didn't perform and to activate those parks people will come i just know one example is that sculpture by mike crane which was the sculpture of the woman dancing was called bliss that was on treasure island and was much beloved on treasure island when it was here. there's a similar sculpture that they're bringing to union square on a temporary basis and the reason for that is because they believe by having that art sculpture there it's going to bring visitors, it's going to bring people who are going to come and look at it. it is a way to generate more revenues for that district and i think we should look at our program art programs on treasure island as being part of that economic generation and i think it's it's just

basically it's if we don't fund those items we are losing a great opportunity. so i would ask that the staff look at possibilities there so that we can continue some of the good work that has been done on the court in the parks and although the development fees are not coming until later is perhaps something that we can do in the interim. >> okay. so any other comments and then comments from the public? >> yes, please. this yeah i've just again just a couple of questions on the items here on the one the expenses for the authority cost the other professional services is 1.5 million which is which is a lot and i'm wondering i

forget what that was what that number six there is bob the the other professional services that that includes amongst other things are an an engineering contract for the oversight of the navy's environmental cleanup program as well as a two contracts that we have for on call or as needed engineering consultations services our work order to the contract monitoring division for support with the small business enterprise program i'd have to look and see what what else constitutes part of that budget but those three items i know are at least half of it and it doesn't look like it.

maybe it looks like in 2026 there will be some additional staff coming on board. >> we do have one additional position that we're adding. we have we have several vacancies currently that we're trying to address. >> we have a vacancy on our real estate team. we have a vacancy on our financing team and we have a position that's been advertised currently for a senior planner to be part of the development team. so we have i know the real estate team was doing interviews this morning so we do have three vacancies we're currently trying to fill. >> that's great. and is there any chance that we could get a breakdown of of last year's budget and and what was paid out to me in like the 2024 because i know these in lieu payments just curious like for example how much in lieu payments were yeah was there a

way to get kind of a estimate that we budgeted and then we got we we certainly can do that for 2023 because i believe uh i believe we might have had that in last month's package but if it wasn't we it's all in the same spreadsheet but sometimes we hide certain columns, right? >> and so we have it and we can make it available. >> that's great. thanks so much. thanks for for letting us go through this um this month and last month to appreciate that. >> yeah. yeah, absolutely. okay. so any comments from the public on the budget discussion? >> hearing none. next item item number 11 discussion of future agenda items by directors, directors and miss yeah. >> mr. dannatt yes, this is just sort of like a general question in the past we've

certainly had many events on mostly treasure island and they do bring some income i believe . and are we looking forward to bringing more things like well you know there was treasure fest which i guess will not ever be coming back but are there other things? do we have any staff that's actually looking for ways to generate income? yeah. well the both income and activity one one group of activities is gold bar whiskey has been kind of quietly doing some events at building one and we want to make sure we're we're doing more to get information out about those to to island residents and others. for instance, last year they did a series of monthly movie nights where they did a pop up screen in the building one parking lot and you know,

showed a series of movies with ties to treasure island the but we want to make sure that we're doing a better job of publicizing those things. not only that that one treasure island or to sponsor but that are going on on the island. we are having conversations between our staff and ticket staff with the completion of city side park, the future hotel parcel is going to be a potential activity activation location and we're talking about how we might program that with events. also treasure island community development as part of the chapel grove project they'll be rehabilitating the chapel and they hope to bring in some activities to the chapel.

you know that that may not generate a terrible amount of revenue for either themselves or or tied to but would be of interest and benefit to the residents, right? >> yeah, that's bringing in money would be great but bringing in more people to see the island know we are yeah and you know with the completion of city side park you know i'm very hopeful that we're going to be able to open that before memorial day. you know that's going to really change the island to be able to come off of the ferry and walk directly into the park and proceed through the park to marseilles or to, you know, the■ isle house or wherever you happen to be headed. i that's that's really going to change the park and i think will with appropriate

programing you know it can really make the island a destination. >> thank you. okay so yes you're about to have a job. >> yes, i had a well i had a comment. >> oh, miss miss howard, i'm sorry. no, no, i wanted to for the future agenda item. >> i just wanted to see if we could have an update again more detail around the housing and then also the small business enterprise program that we have been have been talking about last year. so if we can get some that on the agenda would be great. >> yeah and sorry i should have mentioned next wednesday to steve we are having a small business outreach event for the stage to work the chapel grove and clipper cove beach park projects. i my understanding is they've already got 140 firms signed up. oh good planning to attend so yeah hopefully we'll have have

some good updates as we start building out that work we'll be able to give you some participation numbers and quickly bob please on the department of public health we need to follow up on that. they need to make it work to have health care on the island and so that you know, we there's no way to justify tell them they need to make it work . they need to you know, whatever help they need because it doesn't look right that they pulling out and then the next thing we're going to hear is some people are going to be complaining to the president says we don't have this in there so we can allow you know ,we will definitely continue to keep that at the forefront, you know, both near and long term thinking about health services needs for the island. one other possible ity is the micro transit component of the epa grant being a connection to

health services. >> so will will we will be putting that in the hopper with with everything else. >> yeah. make sure the city's paying for that too so it doesn't take anything that's okay so yes yeah i just want to echo on the health department thing too you know it's we have a lot of people that are going to be out on that island and you're pretty isolated from the rest of the city. so you know, we need to have something for them out there. >> yeah. okay. well with that i would say let's adjourn. happy new year and happy health. >> you stay healthy. >> yeah. thank you, directors. thank you. thank you. and marie. yeah. thank you. i'm ready to thank you. we're going to miss you. >> oh, s.f. gov tv san

francisco government television >> we do in a way which is exciting engaging-the idea is bring the stories to life, because they are so relevant to the questions we all are asking today about where we belong, who are

we, who do wree want to be. we wanted to be do something about food, because it is such a wonderful entrance. to get people to think what are these cultures, how did they come about and how do i relate to them. we can't live the idea [indiscernible] >> there is hundreds if not thousands of immigrants kitchens and we wanted to show how immigration from 1849 through now the different dishes bought here and how it shaped the culture of the city. . not the thing we have to sit down and read for hours and hours, but you get a 2 and a half minute story and the feeling you can eat those foods and never get a dish the same way again. you have the context. >> we decided to set an journey

across the city. the result is [indiscernible] >> san francisco is a place where there we are a sanctuary city, a welcoming place to be and the melting spot is a great to get out and explore the city, the history and how we got to have some of the best cuisine in the country and maybe even the entire world. >> my mother and myself and two sisters--we had to leave quick. my mom had one hour to pack and gather her things and gather her kids and head to the airport and evacuate. we found ourself in san francisco. my grand mother was already here. that is why san francisco was the destination for us.

it goes back to my grand mother and who loved to travel and she was also very afraid of the war going on in vietnam. she came to san francisco and she kind of fell in love with the sitdy. city. she visited the italian deli by oakland beach because she loved the beach and met the owner and the owner told her that this place is for sale and she decided this is her opportunity to stay in san francisco and her dream to be a business owner and open a restaurant. >> i was born [indiscernible] i graduated from a french program culinary school, then i [indiscernible] at that time, we had college of san mateo in the back yard and had

a program for foreign students and we got together and went to the american embassy and this woman welcomed us and she gave both. it is not [indiscernible] and then after that i got accepted and [indiscernible] ended up in san francisco where i had friends so i came to college of san mateo. from there, i transferred to chico state college, so i graduated there and that is when my culinary adventure started. i love cooking and also remind me of my childhood mptd >> my father had a dream and grit and determination. worked very very hard. to me, food is one of the most

readily accessible to understanding a culture. i don't think many people have the opportunity to travel to armenia or lebanon. we are lucky in e city, the abundance of asian cuisines and [indiscernible] restaurants are in many ways an opportunity to engage with another culture through food. >> my grand father had his backyard you name it, we had it. [indiscernible] but my grandma's cookie the memories of the [indiscernible] very powerful. when you channel these memories there is a image because it is a experience all 5 senses get if to it. i think that is why city is so

important for immigrants. the first thing you [indiscernible] we got to eat. you got to nourish the body and you remember and i went from memory really. >> i remember my grand mother telling me stories that when she first opened in 1971, people really didn't know much about vietnamese food and she started selling the italian deli food and half the food and half vietnamese food and she stands in the corner trying to pass samples just to lur customers into the restaurant and try vietnamese food. i think when you enter a new place and you have your family and you have each other and food is what holds your family together. at least for my family for sure, that is the time we get to enjoy food, make

connections, bond, sit together and be together. i just remember my grand mother and mom working hard all the time and once a week we would have family dinners. we gather and she would cook the food. all the kids we always look forward to that. my grand mother coming in 1971, she brought vietnamese food in san francisco. we are one of the first vietnamese arrest raunt restaurant in san francisco. >> for san francisco to have this map and look at all the people who came here and made things you can only find in sf. we are the place to get a

mission burete. burrito. that could be overlooked and not seen [indiscernible] >> important because it highlights the san francisco, the diversity for each restaurant and each spot on the map to share their story through food they serve to diners. i think it is special way to highlight the welcomeness and the [indiscernible] san francisco community is bay area has. >> it is one of the project that is so uniquely san francisco that speaks to the long history of immigration and cuisine the city has been known for. the melting spot allows the small businesses that have been around for a while to really shine with their own unique stories and flavors and so we

really love it. the ecosystem in san francisco is very unique and very welcoming of immigrants and immigrant initiatives. san francisco choice to honor us with the legacy business recognition really shows their support of small local businesses. >> a legacy business is a business that has been around and open in san francisco for at least 30 years. legacy businesses are the most foundational businesses in our neighborhood corridors. they provided services and a place for community to gather for often times for generations. they are really part of the culturally fabric that makes san francisco neighborhoods so unique. >> the idea is take what i think is [indiscernible] about immigration, about belonging, about some of the amazing history of the city.

[indiscernible] my name is mark, the general manager of condor beach in san francisco. condor was created [indiscernible] when it started in 1964, the club becoming the first adult entertainment, club regal in america, that was something big, that was huge. condor givers you a little of everything. we open in the day on the weekends so we have a live band that play and night time we transform where the entertains come on and we have the gentleman's club vibe along with the sports vibe. we show the ufc and boxing events and

major sports and do little things like [indiscernible] comedy nights you can find what we are doing through our website. condor gives you a little bit of everything that you want when you want to go out and have a good time. being here in north beach and part of san francisco we put a lot of ourselves in the business. the good work we were able to do over the last decade to build it and make it what it is today t. is a honor to say, we are one of few businesses in san francisco that is a legacy business. >> who doesn't love cable cars? charging emissions and we're free which we're proud of you know, it's not much free left in the world anymore so we managed to do that through donations and through our gift shops. you got

a real look and real appreciation of what early transit systems are like. this was the transit of the day from about 1875 to about 1893 or later, you know. cable car museum is free, come on in. take a day. come down. rediscover the city. you can spend as time you want and you don't have to make reservations and it's important to be free because we want them to develop a love for cable cars so they do continue to support whether they live here or other places and people come in and say, yes, i have passed by and heard of this and never come in and they always enjoy themselves. people love cable cars and there's none left in the world so if you want to ride a cable car, you've got to come to san francisco. that what makes the city. without the cable cars, you lose part of that, you know, because people who come here and they love it and they love the history ask they can ride a cable car that has been running since 1888 or 1889. wow! that's something.

can't do that with other historical museums. rarely, have i run into anybody from outside who didn't come in and didn't feel better from knowing something about the city. it's a true experience you'll remember. i hope they walk away with a greater appreciation for the history, with the mechanics with people are fascinated by the winding machine and i hope the appreciation, which is a part of our mission and these young kids will appreciate cable cars and the ones who live here and other places, they can make sure there will always be cable cars in san francisco because once they are gone, they are gone. it's the heartbeat of san francisco that founded the cable and the slot and without the cable cars, yeah, we would lose something in san francisco. we would lose part of its heart and soul. it wouldn't be san francisco without cable cars. [bell ringing]

>> when i in height in addiction i did not see my future. i question if this is all i was minute to be. i was inspired to quit using when i was going to be a father. >> we will have this and she will [indiscernible] need to take the help now. since i stopped using, our life is night and day. i'm able to withstand cravings, i don't are body acs. >> anyone can do it. >> we are living proof that >> brainchild the executive director 6 housing clinic in the neighborhood for it 90 years and talking about the history like the first web about family

history and a lot of the clinicians found with a group of the community members. with the owner of cadillac the housing on the west coast and the tenderloin is a permanent climax of history of the neighborhood and the community art gorilla for whatever reason artists in the neighborhood. and we do public events as well as walk in (unintelligible) for residents we have been known for has nothing to do with historically artist surveys and that makes us very unique and work producing about the cafe and a riot happened in the neighborhood in

1966 helping us on market street year-round indefinitely we think that the arts is an incredible way of experiencing history and really helps people think of themselves as history persons and especially for the house play really a part of the - and think that is - we are aware the art is important for people and important for the community mba and can be a really assessable and engaging way to see history well. >> those are the ways as the art and history you're not going to see emotionally in the

occasions. >> my name is tina i say owner of the first books in san francisco and immigrant bookstore for 3 three years that is housed and owned by peter and this speculation used for a number of things the farms what makes us unique maintained the original furniture up here you see the ancient fitting and

those are the original fixtures of what was here in the early, you know, 1920s or so. we're a little bit of everything but i'll say your strongest will litter and history and of course, we try to pride ourselves on fine tuned restoration we try to binge in behind jams or things that inspires someone we specialize in curiosity. >> one of my favorite parts is sitting in chair out front and saying hello to people when they come in and my favorite to recommend a book you have homes and work and well a third place is a place where i look for community and you build community i think that is

christopher's and other businesses like that are a third place and turn to come in i knew they were born and have their kids. >> that's how long i've been here with the history and connection and board member wright a few priority is one of the most amazing cities in the world and love creating a community
